Meta: Read the Automod comment on your profile review, please.
So we realized lately that a lot of people who post profile reviews don't bother reading the automod comment that's automatically included and answer the questions.
First, the answers you give help provide important context that helps people to give you better feedback.
But more importantly, included is the important information that all profile reviews have to be manually approved and will not appear immediately.
The reason for this is simple. We want every review post to receive some attention and time to gather feedback, instead of a plethora of posts all appearing on the sub at the same time and some people receiving no feedback as their post gets buried.
Yet people still ask "where is my post", or deleting and re-posting over and over, which will just push your post back in the queue and delaying it from appearing sooner. Or those who just deletes their post instead of waiting (happens to female profile reviews more often, or those who have been asked to post a profile review).
When a post appear live is based on how many posts there are in the queue. On certain days, there could be 10+ profile reviews, and the more people post a review, the longer the queue gets and therefore longer approval time. It's not like we're not letting you post a review; but more the fact there is a queue and some patience is required.
TLDR: Respond to the automod questions, and read the entire thing. Profile reviews are manually approved.
